Publishing Options

Fusion of Multidisciplinary Research, An International Journal (FMR) offers a hybrid  open access publishing model. Upon acceptance of an article for publication, authors  can choose from the following options: 

  1. Traditional Publishing Model (TPA): Published articles are accessible to  institutions and individuals who either subscribe to FMR or pay to read specific  articles. 
  2. Open Access (OA): When an article is accepted for publication, the author(s) or  funder(s) pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). The final published version is then  freely available for everyone to read. 

APC for FMR 

At FMR, we are dedicated to providing a high-quality, accessible platform for  disseminating multidisciplinary research. To support the publication process, we  have implemented an APC of $100 per accepted article in TPA and $1500 per accepted  article in OA model. This fee helps cover the costs associated with the various stages  of publication, ensuring that we can maintain the rigorous standards and services that  our contributors and readers expect. 

What the APC Covers: 

  1. Peer Review Process: Ensuring each submission undergoes a thorough and fair  peer review by experts in the relevant field. 
  2. Editorial Services: Handling the logistics of manuscript submissions, revisions, and  communications with authors. Professional editing and formatting of manuscripts to  meet our high publication standards. 
  3. Online Hosting and Maintenance: Ensures that articles are accessible globally  through our digital platform, with robust archiving and indexing services.
  4. Open Access: Making articles freely accessible to readers worldwide, increasing the  visibility and impact of your research. 
  5. Archiving and Indexing: Ensuring long-term preservation and discoverability of  articles through indexing in reputable databases. 

Why an APC? 

The APC model allows FMR to operate without subscription fees, ensuring that all  published research is immediately and freely accessible to anyone, anywhere. This supports the principle of open access, fostering greater dissemination and impact of  your work. 

Waivers and Discounts: 

We are committed to supporting researchers worldwide. Authors from low-income  countries may be eligible for APC waivers or discounts. We encourage authors who  may face financial constraints to contact our editorial office to discuss potential  support.
